The sanctions against European politicians, scientists and organizations represent a fierce diplomatic escalation between Brussels and Beijing. China's behavior calls the EU's previous strategy into question. This is also to be a topic at the summit of EU heads of state and government this week.

As the financial markets continue to open up, the stakes and investments of foreign banks in China are growing. American banks, in particular, are pumping more money into China than ever before.

On the other hand, American money creates security against Washington's political escapades.
